Choke Shim Installation


BEFORE INSTALLING THE CHOKE SHIM READ THROUGH THE FOLLOWING 1 to 6 STEPS.


1. Install the choke shim that was included in the EMR-90-009 emission kit as described in Figures 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18.








Shown in Figure 14 is a basic outline view of the choke mechanism.

Note:
The area between the choke adjustment screw and the plunger is behind the choke linkage and is hidden from view.





2. Using the Fast Idle Release Driver special tool, insert the tool between the thermo wax element housing and the choke linkage (Figure 16).





3. Spread the choke linkages to create a gap between the choke adjustment screw and the plunger of the thermo wax element (Figure 17). Make sure not to interfere with the throttle lever or other linkages.





4. With the linkages spread, install the cap portion of the choke shim onto the threaded end of the choke adjustment screw. The cap portion of the shim should be inserted between the plunger and the choke adjustment screw (Figure 18).

5. Remove the Fast Idle Release Driver. Detach the installation handle from the shim by twisting the handle and breaking the joint between the handle and the shim.

6. Visually inspect the final installation of the Choke Shim. It must be securely on the end of the adjustment screw.
